PSCA has posted a new Integrated Range Schedule with no upcoming launches on it [through the end of 2022]. P139 is gone from the schedule. So this launch is now TBD.

Just got some info from Cameron county official about Starship launch timeline. Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño, Jr., says he thinks SpaceX will launch first orbital test flight from Boca Chica within the next 90 days. He works VERY CLOSELY with Elon and starbase team.
Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño, Jr., says he thinks SpaceX will launch its Starship rocket for a first orbital test flight from Boca Chica within the next 90 days.Treviño sounded bullish about the prospects when he spoke in-depth about SpaceX at a conference titled “The Future of Aerospace, Defense & Energy in Brownsville.” His remarks were made during a Q&A session with Helen Ramirez, executive director of the Greater Brownsville Incentives Corporation (GBIC). “I know you don’t have a crystal ball in your pocket but what is your prediction in terms of the Starship launch?” Ramirez asked.“I could accurately say that if it was up to SpaceX it would have been today or yesterday. I can say that with a 100 percent degree of certainty,” Treviño responded. “But, I think on the real aggressive side, we are probably talking 30 days. On the more moderate side, probably 60 and more realistically 90. But, it could be anywhere in that ballpark.”

We are standing down from today's launch attempt. Our systems are in great health, but our propellant temperature was slightly out of bounds, and out of extreme caution, we are scrubbed for the day. We’re proud of the team for running an extremely professional operation.We are safely unloading the rocket now, and working to recycle for another launch attempt in the coming days.

Galaxy 33 and Galaxy 34, Intelsat’s first two C-band replacement satellites, are due to launch on a Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral in October.

Similar to previous SSC missions, this launch includes two rideshare payloads, EZIO-5 and -6, that will be deployed from the Centaur’s aft bulkhead following the second main engine cutoff or MECO-2.
Straight Up was Virgin Orbit’s second mission of the year after a launch in a January. The next launch, expected no sooner than September, will be the company’s first launch from the United Kingdom, flying out of Spaceport Cornwall. That launch is slated to be the first orbital launch by any vehicle from Great Britain.
